Ramunas Navardauskas wins Vuelta a San Juan stage three time trial

Ramunas Navardauskas (Bahrain Merida) won the time trial of the 2017 Vuelta a San Juan, giving his team its very first win in professional cycling.

Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) came in second at three seconds from the winner, while his teammate, Matthias Brandle, came in third at seven seconds from Navardauskas.

Navardauskas leads the race overall by the same margins.

“My legs are light and I’m really relaxed. Probably are the victory effects!”, said Navardauskas. “Looking back, I was not thinking to win. I just wanted to give my best and try to make a good race. We had tried several times the route and was a kind of time trial where you had to push very very strong.”
